Reference resources

In TKT reference resources refers to all sources of information about language and teaching which we use in our lesson preparation. Think back to your time as a language learner. What resources (beyond the course book) did your teacher use?

Here are some reasons for using reference resources. What resources could you match to each reason?

• To check the form and use of grammar structures.
• To check the spelling, pronunciation and use of lexis.
• To develop the teachers' understanding of language.
• To help anticipate learners' difficulties.
• To help us discover new approaches to teaching.
• To help us extend our use of the course book.
• To get advice on a specific area of teaching.
